It is, at least I saw a `cat Magdir/[a-z]* > magic' (IIRC) line in the
makefile.

Confirmed, this is a real problem.

Here are the dates as far as I know:

20000508                (beta1/2)
20001031                (beta3)
20010225                (beta4)
20010615                (RC1)
20010813                (RC2)
20010816 (gtune 1)      (RC2 - Garf tuned v1)
20011014 (GTune 2)      (RC2 - Garf tuned v2)
20011217                (RC3 - oggenc, oggdrop)
20011231                (RC3 - BQoggdrop)

The dates up to RC1 inclusive were already confirmed before.
I need confirmations for the dates of RC2 and up, especially the differing
RC3 date - some explanations was posted previously but can someone explain
them better?  Is there any difference in the output or should both be
regarded as official RC3 dates?

Common Lisp is better than Common Source and
Open Source is better than Open Collector (YMMV).
